Portwest Base B0178 Chester S3 Steel Toe Shoes
A resilient, unisex safety shoe that seamlessly merges modern aesthetics with practical features, the Portwest Base B0178 Chester S3 Steel Toe Shoes are engineered to offer robust protection in a variety of high-risk workplaces such as construction, demolition, and assembly.
What's Included?
Guard Against Unforeseen Hazards
Designed with anti-static capabilities, these shoes assure stable footing even in fast-paced conditions. Beneath the luxe Nabutek leather exterior lies a robust steel toe-cap capable of withstanding impacts up to 200 joules, offering reliable protection while maintaining its rugged aesthetic.
Why Opt for Anti-Static Features?
Footwear with anti-static capabilities effectively channels static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the boot's inner sole, lining, and outer sole into the earth. This feature significantly reduces the build-up of static electricity, enhancing your safety in environments where static-related risks are a concern.
Experience All-Day Freshness and Comfort
Incorporating Portwest Base's signature SmellStop technology, these boots neutralise unpleasant odours while the anti-fatigue functionality ensures your feet stay comfortable and energised throughout the day.
Multi-Layered Protection for Your Feet
More than just a sturdy outer layer, the boot's sole is engineered with multiple lines of defence: it's not only resistant to punctures but also fortified against hydrocarbons. Coupled with cutting-edge shock-absorbing technology in the heel, each step is designed to be both secure and comfortable.
Why is Hydrocarbon Resistance Important?
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds comprised solely of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Work boots that are resistant to hydrocarbons offer essential protection when you're working with or around chemicals. Such footwear guards against the risks of skin irritations, allergic reactions, infections, and chemical burns, particularly when chemical leaks or spills occur.
Adapted to International Standards
This versatile and durable boot sets the standard for safety, comfort, and style, making it the ideal choice for those who require uncompromised protection in challenging work conditions. Certified to the stringent UNI EN ISO 20345:2012 S3 (SRC) standards, the B0178 Chester shoes are designed to meet and exceed safety expectations.
